A new survey, carried out by online gaming company St Minver, asked 3,000 bingo players their thoughts on how July’s new smoking ban will affect their bingo playing habits. Up to two-thirds of all regular bingo players being smokers, the results do not bode well for land-based operators with 63% of the smokers surveyed revealed they would spend more time playing online bingo once the ban is introduced.
The online Bingo space is going through massive change and with it comes a raft of opportunity for operators, affiliates and solution providers. Issues such as the smoking ban, European iGaming laws, increased competition and European penetration all make it a crucial time to assess how these challenges and more will drive the online Bingo space forwards.
As the online Bingo space gears up for significant growth Dominic Mansour, CEO at Bingos.co.uk spoke of the value of the upcoming Bullet Business Online Bingo Summit "The Online Bingo space is gearing up to corner a large slice of the online gaming sector... things are very exciting right now. The Online Bingo Summit is the only place in Europe to meet with key Bingo industry executives and to discuss the challenges we will face over the next year. Last year's Summit brought together a fantastic mix of stakeholders from right across the Bingo value chain. I am looking forward to this year’s summit very much."
